What I would like to have is something like a mapping of a file into
another tree. In this case, I would like to work on files in trunk
but have them 'mapped' into several other trees. This would imply
that all changes I would make to a file found in a branch were
immediately reflected in the trunk.
If I re-think my statement, I could follow this procedure by using
some scripting that would traverse the local copy of the trunk and
merge the latest branches into the trunk before creating a new branch
of the upstream.
Does anyone of this list have such a script? Or is there some
standard procedure that subversion provides inherently?
wbr,
Lukas
